Abstract
We tested the utility of intratracheal carbon dioxide monitoring (IT-CO2) i n 10 patients undergoing percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT), We h ave found IT-CO2 monitoring reliable in confirming the correct position of the tracheal cannula prior to tracheal dilatation using the Por-ter: techni que.
